New book in Progress, Changes You Can Make Now

Five years ago I published The Psychology of Positive Thinking. It was based on the previous fifty years of research in psychology, the neuro-sciences and NLP. It was about how we think and behave from Newtonian physics point of view that is too materialistic. More recently, cutting edge neuro-science, technology and quantum physics have made discoveries that are changing the way we see ourselves. The physical world, indeed the universe started from a “singularity” of energy exploding outward at the speed of light. As these energies became entangled they coalesced into masses and motion and space, forming the heavens and the earth. This knowledge significantly revises how to Think Positive; the revision will be called The Psychology of Positive Thinking: Changes You Can Make Now.

So while we appear to be material beings living in a material world, we are really made up of these coalesced, entangled masses of energy. The “space” separating us from each other and everything else is simply the illusion created by our ever-expanding universe (energy expanding at the speed of light.) Cutting edge quantum theory is telling us that the energy vibrations that underlie reality take on mass only as a result of being captured when being measured, or observed. Some theories claim that this measurement or observation must also include the involvement of consciousness.

IF THIS IS SO, if the observations on the part of our consciousness do in fact create reality, we are far more responsible for events than we give ourselves credit for. And it behooves us to think positive thoughts: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)

Body/Mind/Spirit: A Holistic Model

A model of the mind, such as the Hebbian model proposed in an earlier post and in The Psychology of Positive Thinking- that is concerned mainly with the two cerebral hemispheres- does not tell the whole story. Yes, the cerebral hemispheres do have about a hundred Billion neuron cells, which can produce an infinite number of neuron configurations, or circuits. Further, these neuron circuits may further combine and become thoughts, or programs, and account for an even higher order of infinity, and even for how we think. When we consider the entire body however, we are now talking about a hundred Billion Billion (a hundred Trillion) cells, all interconnected with each other in an even higher order of infinity ways. Yes, they are connected physically, in the traditional (Western) scientific sense. And they are all connected energetically, in a more basic (Eastern) sense. All matter is composed of energy: matter is only a manifestation of the energy that constitutes it. Welcome to the world of quantum energy physics! The old physical Newtonian laws (that we were all taught in school) break down as we approach the infinitely small, (subatomic) or infinitely large (the infinity of connections among a hundred trillion cells.) We are part of this quantum world where our concepts of time and space no longer apply. Our notion of physical reality is now being challenged by the idea that no physical thing is real, until it is observed or measured. Perhaps this is related to how we form our own personal “Bubble of Reality” we each find ourselves in. Another feature of this world is Entanglement: when some particles (very small) divide, they remain related to each other, or entangled, even when separated across very large distances- they act as if there is no space or time separating them. As we move from body to mind to spirit, we may be entering this same quantum world, where far more than we ever imagined becomes possible. With these thoughts in mind we will look further into energy psychology.
